I stayed here for a night, we arrived at around 1 am (long road trip along the east coast) and I was pleased to see reception was still open at that time.
Check in took a little while but the room was large, roomy and had a small balcony over looking a nice garden area.
The bed was comfortable and helped with a pleasant nights sleep.
Would recommend for a good place to stay.

Stayed here overnight on a business trip. From the start the staff were welcoming and friendly. Room was clean, nicely renovated bathroom and a big balcony. So nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the evening breeze. Room service was prompt and the food was delicious and well priced. The tandoori chicken with spiced chickpea and yogurt salad was perfect. Bed was very comfortable. This is certainly the best of the hotel choices in Charlestown. Will definitely stay here again.less

We stayed as a family of 4 adults and a 3 month old baby. Lovely surprise to find a spacious 2 bedroom family room, with a cot supplied for the baby. The room also has a small nook for coffee making and bathroom with bath.
The motel looks to have been recently refurbished and the decor was simple but nicely done. Main bedroom had a king size bed and the other had two singles and still had enough room for a sofa and coffee table.
Breakfast was one of the better buffets I have had in Australia. $25 for a walk in breakfast but if you booked the night before it was $20. Staff quickly informed us that eggs could be cooked any way we preferred if you did not want the poached eggs already on the buffet. The continental breakfast was $18. All staff in the dinning room were friendly and very helpful.
Just a quick suggestion, door stops for the doors leading to the balcony and water jug in fridge. However, having said that, I didn't ask housekeeping either. If I had, they may have been had them.
I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend this motel to family and friends, although it appears that my family have stayed here a number of times.
Extra note...I loved the vases in the reception area and the brand of complimentary toiletries were really nice.less

We last stayed in 2015 and were very disappointed by the attitude of this hotel, post check-out .
We are happy to say that this time our overnight Bed & Breakfast was great. The rooms
are large, well appointed and well maintained.
We ordered Room Service and had an early night in the comfy bed. Breakfast was a leisurely affair and well worth the money.less
